Car crashes into CNN Center in downtown Atlanta

ATLANTA (AP) — A motorist is facing charges after police say he crashed a car into a lobby at CNN Center, the news network’s headquarters in downtown Atlanta.

Authorities say the Mercedes Benz shattered the glass entryway on the building’s north side around 4:15 a.m. Friday. It came to rest in the middle of the lobby, several yards away from any of CNN’s offices.

Chafee said Todd told officers he had been driving all night and fell asleep at the wheel. There were no reports of injuries. It wasn’t immediately clear if Todd had a lawyer, and a phone number for him could not be found.
